MINDFULNESS

What is Mindfulness in

a nutshell

The art of Awareness – Live in the moment. It’s a mental state of being & achieved by the individual focusing on their full awareness to the here and now.  It’s about “being” in a purpose and non-judgemental way, rather than “doing” mode. It is encouraging an open acceptance inwardly and outer, along with preventing self-criticism to be sensed within. “Being” mode allows you to become fully conscious of your life, so you can check -in and make intentional choices.

Thicht Nhat Han explains it well: - “when we are mindful deeply in touch with the present moment our understanding of what is going on deepens and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace & love”

Why learning the art of awareness, is right for you!

Mindfulness has a large list of benefits, which you will read below. It challenges people’s ruminative thoughts which in-turn can positively influence their bodily and feelings as well as building emotional resilience. Times are hard and in this fast-paced world we live in, pressure and challenges are an everyday reality.

Therefore NICE, identify and recommends Mindfulness, as a treatment of choice for people who suffer from depression/ stress, because studies have proven that it helps you manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and gives a framework for lasting change. Richard Davidson a world-renowned neuroscientist identified that daily Mindfulness practise, can increase a person’s resilience over time. This can help people deal/work through lives challenges is a more effective way.

There is a clear link between Mindfulness and resilience and wellbeing.

Organisations are identifying the clear benefits from introducing Mindfulness training and practises, into their workforce. Recent review of the scientific literature concluded that Mindfulness is fundamentally connected to improving wellbeing, relationships, and performance. After the pandemic, attitudes have changed, and businesses are experiencing the increased cost of absenteeism and staff turnover associated with the mental health of their employee’s. By cultivating a mindfulness workforce, research has reported the workforce are less emotionally exhausted and they have seen better working relationships forming, resilience and work performance increasing and importantly profits increasing. These are strong   indictors that Mindfulness is an effective and pro-active practise them will embody into the organisation. (Workforcemindfulness.com)
